Abstract excerpt
Objectives Previous studies have reported that a few inflammatory cytokines have associations with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)—for example, IL-6, IL-17, and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP). This Mendelian randomization was conducted to further assess the causal correlations between 41 inflammatory cytokines and SLE.
